Abstract:The use of regional analgesia techniques for postoperative analgesia in spine surgery is less frequently used in comparison with conventional oral and parenteral treatment. This may be explained by the fact that surgery is mostly performed under general anesthesia. Although objections of the surgeon are comprehensible, there is a growing number of studies using regional techniques for the treatment of pain after this surgery.When postoperative analgesia is the focus then regional techniques can be initiated at… Show more
“…The most commonly used technique to anesthetize patients scheduled for thoracic or lumbar spine surgery is general anesthesia followed by conventional pain therapy [23]. Controlling the hemodynamic situation of patients who have spinal operation is of prime importance and maintaining the heart rate and blood pressure in normal or low-normal levels in these patients can reduce bleeding in the surgical field, particularly in congested, small and limited areas such as spine [24].…”
